Patio awning

[Amarillo]

Having enjoyed our California’s awning over the last few years, and banished to the garden for eating with friends and family, we decided to invest in a patio awning, 4m wide and 2.5m reach.

It was due to arrive but delivery failed due to incorrect loading. Any ideas how an awning can be incorrectly loaded!?

Very Droll !

No, but I’ve thought about buying one (a normal Cali one) for my balcony

Simple 2m wind out awnings start at under £190 (including fittings) and have a wide range of colours.

We have ordered a full cassette model which comes to over £1,000.

4 metre length placed transversely and not longitudinally?
4 metre length placed vertically and not longitudinally?
1 metre placed on the truck and 3 metres overhanging?
At least it's not aboard the Ever Given.

”Incorrect loading”..... it was loaded before and now beneath the 4 pallets of bricks..... it’s bent.

That is what I fear.

My hope is that it was loaded onto the wrong truck and went to Lee-on-Sea instead of Lee-on-Quaggy.

 

[Amarillo]

Still no delivery, but on the delivery truck for 9 hours...

 

[BerndRos]

It will be well ‘sorted’ by the time you get it.

 

[Amarillo]

Now saying it was delivered at 19:30!

 

[Amarillo]

Alleged successful delivery at 19:30 on 30 March, then another incorrectly loaded awning on April Fools Day!

 

[BerndRos]

It’s travels are .....yawning !

 

[Amarillo]

And so the sorry saga continues...

 

[BerndRos]

It’s blinding !

 

[AlisonF]

More exciting than Line of Duty... and if you catch Gogglebox, then the notepad and pen are out trying to solve whodunnit, or whohasit / whereisit...

 

[ArunAlec]

Probably under a different pallet of bricks by now though.

 

[BerndRos]

It must ‘hatch’ soon, surely ?

Where the egg is it?

 

[andyinluton]

I chickened out of commenting, would eggspect some foul response.

 

[GrannyJen]

It's probably at Hengate waiting to go to margate

 

[Amarillo]

Someone’s cocked up.

 

[larrylamb]

These awnings are as rare as hens' teeth.

 

[ArunAlec]

Maybe it’s cooped up in the back of a van.
